One thing I still haven't completely figured out yet is the difference in liability between a UG (Haftungsbeschränkt) and Einzelunternehmen in Germany. As an Einzelunternehmen, you (as the sole proprietor) are liable with your private assets for any outstanding bills etc, I get that part. But is there anything else you're on the hook for? Am I'm missing something?

Let's say I started a SaaS company as an Einzelunternehmen. What's the risk for me personally since I can always spin up and immediately cancel cloud resources with hourly billing as customers come and go. I don't see a lot of financial risk in terms of customer churn. Again: What am I missing?
